Dear President Biden, please reinstate top NOAA scientist Craig McLean to his rightful place

NOAA's top scientist tried to get the White House on board with its science ethics policy. He got demoted by email instead

NOAA demoted its acting top scientist after he requested that Trump administration employees respect the agency's policies and not meddle with scientific data, The New York Times reported.

The scientist, Craig McLean, was replaced in the role by a former employee at a libertarian think tank who has questioned climate-change projections.

President Donald Trump has meddled with data about hurricanes, climate change, and COVID-19 during his four years in office and has been accused of eroding the independence of government agencies.
